Name Above All Names

Today parents name their kids for relatives, friends, or the popular names of their time. But in

Biblical times the names or renames most of the times had specific meanings to each name. In

the NIV notes it explains that each of the throne names of the Messiah consists of two elements.

“For unto us a child is born, to us a (royal) Son (of David the King) is given, and the government

will be upon His shoulders. And He will be called Wonderful Counselor (Messiah carries out

marvelous pre-planned purposes), Mighty God (Divine powerful warrior), Everlasting Father

(enduring compassionate provider and protector), Prince of Peace (His rule will bring wholeness

& well-being to persons and to society) Is. 9:6. “ Therefore God exalted Him (Christ) to the

highest place and gave Him the name above every name, that the name of Jesus every knee

should bow, in heaven and on earth and under the earth, and every tongue confess that Jesus

Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father. Phil. 2:9,10. Jesus Christ had many names that

expressed who He was in a specific function of His Personhood: Savior, deliverer, healer, bread

of life, alpha and omega, word, plus many more and He was the Son of God part of the triune

God which is hard for us to understand. “ In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was

with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Jn 1;1,2 Then God said,

“Let us make man in our image, in our likeness….. Gen. 1:26a. I lokk forward to having the ability

to understand fully the Trinity but in faith I chose to accept it as truth until I see Him again.
